Announcing the Moderator for the Maiden Edition of the Muslim Women in History Series!
We are thrilled to announce that Professor Rabia Sa’id will serve as the moderator for the maiden edition of the Muslim Women in History Series.
A distinguished academic and dedicated community leader, Professor Sa’id brings a wealth of expertise, passion, and advocacy to this role. With a background in Atmospheric Physics and Dynamics, Professor Sa’id holds a BSc., MSc., and PhD from Bayero University, Kano, and an additional MSc in Environment and Development from the University of Reading, UK. Her academic journey has been defined by a focus on sustainable development, climate change, and renewable energy, with specific research on waste-to-wealth initiatives and nuclear nonproliferation, security, and safeguards. In 2021, she received the CRDF Global Grant for her work in building networks for women in nuclear security and nonproliferation, and she currently serves as the Lead Coordinator of WCAPS-NG (Women of Color Advancing Peace, Security & Conflict Transformation Nigeria).
Professor Sa’id is not only a Professor of Atmospheric Physics and Research Fellow at the Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainability Transitions (CREST) at Bayero University, but she is also an experienced lecturer and consultant, with notable contributions in advocacy for girls in STEM and girls’ rights issues. Her dedication to empowering women in science and education extends through her active membership in the Muslim Sisters Organization (MSO), where she once served as the Ameerah of the Kano Branch, as well as the Sisters Saving for Paradise (SISAP) initiative.
Professor Rabia Sa’id’s profound commitment to both her academic field and her community makes her the ideal choice to lead us through this inaugural event, guiding our exploration of the significant contributions of Muslim women throughout history.
Please join us in welcoming Professor Sa’id to this inspiring role as we celebrate the legacy of extraordinary Muslim women.
